moonshine".

"Let me just say flatly, it isn't going to happen, it's not something 
that is in the cards," Dr Burgess told an Australia-Israel Chamber of 
Commerce luncheon in Sydney on Wednesday.

"It's not going to happen because in the US we call it economic 
moonshine, a kind of bogus whisky that the hillbillies drink. It's crazy.
